from Main Street Matters · host Main Street Matters

On this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Patrick Hedger, Director of Policy at NetChoice, to tackle one of the most urgent questions facing the American economy: Will artificial intelligence destroy jobs—or create new opportunities? From rising fears about layoffs to the explosion of AI-driven innovation, this conversation breaks down what’s really happening in the labor market. Hedger explains why history shows technology tends to create more jobs than it eliminates—and why AI may follow the same path, even as it reshapes entire industries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
